Yellow Balloon Font twists every capital out of a long yellow balloon and ties a tiny knot at its foot. The latex has a soft buttery sheen rather than a mirror shine, so it looks friendly on pastels and glows on black. Use it for birthday invites and kids brands, as an OTF font or as transparent PNG letters.
Yellow Balloon Font, Tied Off at Every Letter
Each capital here starts life as a long yellow balloon, twisted into shape and then knotted. So a tiny tied nub sits at the foot of every letter, where you would pinch a real one. The strokes stay fat and rounded, while the counters close up into soft little holes.
Naturally, even the dollar sign and the percent get their knots. The zero, meanwhile, is simply a round balloon on its own, which feels about right.
A Soft Shine Instead of a Mirror
Rather than chrome or foil, the surface reads as warm latex. Light slides across it in one wide, gentle highlight, so the yellow looks buttery instead of metallic. Shadows gather in the creases where one curve meets the next.
Because of that matte sheen, the Yellow Balloon Font sits happily on pastel mint, lilac or peach. It also pops on black, where the yellow turns almost golden. Above all, avoid busy photos behind it, because the soft highlight gets lost there.
